I moved away from Falkirk, not after I started my first round of home education. I would not send my children to any High Schools in Falkirk, a couple in particular. Let me know by PM which area of Falkirk and I will tell what I know about the area if I can and what I have heard on schools. There are a couple of really good ones outside of Falkirk, one of which I know personally and will help children the other has a new head teacher who is very proactive. There is one other that I heard good reports from.
I now permanently home ed my son.

and they wonder why there is a teenage hooligan problem!
-
you go for it as this not just a scraped knee, this could have been fatal!
I just got my sons school records...long story of lies....but apparently when my son perceived the boys that hit him didn't like him he was wrong. No, no they were hitting and smashing him into trees, stripping him naked because they were his best friend.
That's not my definition of friendship...may be after all these I am perceiving friendships wrong and should actually allow myself to be bullied as 'they' are my real friends?
-
May I suggest that before you remove you son from the school you request to see his records and get the inaccuracies that may be there put right as they will go on to the next school and will grow legs as they do!Further to my above post I REALLY urge you do this.
I have just my sons records and, apart from other stuff I have issues with, apparently my son is under nourished and I am personally am holding him back emotionally and socially. That will be why he eats like a horse and all our (as a family) friends are astonished at what he packs away when he eats with them and why when it comes to school holidays there are not enough days to get to see all his friends scattered all over Scotland then!
My lawyer will have a field day as it's in writing!
Oh I feel a libel moment coming on.
-
oh dear, did the the cover up not work then?..........well if the did everything correctly they would not be covering up would they?
Just remember all schools have liability insurance!
What's that I hear compensation as well as a ticking off???????????

Just found this blog autism and parents with a mental illness
The one used at me....his home environment/circumstance are too blame for the majority of his problems. In other words he is not autistic it's the parents.
-
I would.
If they haven't heard anything about it then
did ya just tell 'em? 
-
What helps you cope with this condition?Just coming to an understanding with myself that life dishes out stuff and you have to make the best of it. BUT pacing yourself is the best advise I can give. So what if it took me 6 months to paint my lounge. I did it. I finished!
Understand your limitations and don't go over them, too often

due to "prior commitments" they are unable to answer our letter in writing and would like to invite us to a meeting instead.That's code for 'ooooooooooops! We messed up here. Put nothing in writting!

Kathryn
It was predicted that her joints would tighten up again after puberty and this seems to have happened to some extent.Use HMSers hear this all the time from medics...I am 46 now and can touch my toes more than I could 30 years. Whilst my joints may not appear to medics as being hypermobile to doctors (do to physios) I get far more dislocations now.

As a piece of information for you when I was discussing whether or not to send my son to my local High School the learning support team said "there is no such thing as special needs children in Scotland". When I enquired what they are now classed as I was told "children you need a little bit of help now and and again!"
-
I lived not far from Falkirk, and well I would never my child to any of the High Schools there, and very few primaries. Sorry couldn't be more positive, but also my neighbours would travel out of Falkirk for schools.
-
A cover up if ever I heard one!
Personally I would be taking this incident to a higher level, particularly as the medics have doubts about a 'mild clash', and removing him immediately from the school at least until the truth comes out.
They neglected their duty of care!
And although they can report the incident in the accident they can not report it as fact if the the writer didn't witness the incident.
I would get some legal advice
-
Any accident at school needs to be written in the accident book. I would hazard to guess that unless he has something wrong with his skull, and hypermobility syndrome will not cause the density and strength of bone to be affected, then it was a little more than a mild bump.
As for the DLA stuff I would put the consequences of each sensory issue, ie runs aways, doesn't notice traffic, height, danger etc. They will be more interested in the consequence rather than the cause.
-
My children have been to several primary schools. Some because we moved but others because they were in tolerable and my children, but particularly my son, were suffering.
I now home educate my son because I can not trust the LEA to ensure he receives not only the help he requires but the level of education he needs. The LEA are still compiling fabrication, the next lot I am about to read through at my soliciotrs..my sons school notes!
May I suggest that before you remove you son from the school you request to see his records and get the inaccuracies that may be there put right as they will go on to the next school and will grow legs as they do!

a friend of mine won her place yesterday by a big majority
-
nope just ignorance in mental health issues as a whole, even in the medical profession......it's taboo to talk about mental health
sigh 
-
i'm wondering if i should have told them this at appointment,, could this be relevant????YES!
You have hyper mobility syndrome...slightly different from being hypermobile.
There is a school of thought that there is more instantness of parents who have HMS have a higher tendency to have children with autistic traits. There have been no medical confirmation of this, just parental chit chat on the site. However the two often lay side by side and autism means hypermobile...but not always the syndrome.

I speel correctly..just my fingers hit all the wrong keys!
also after receiving emails from my dyslexic friend and deciphering them my brain is a muddle!
Text talk does my brain in too ScienceGeek

ok that puts a slightly different slant on things. She may really love/like you, only time and meetings will tell on that on. But equally she may be saying that because;
she may feel externally grateful toward you
or
needs someone to remove her from the situation she is in...which I can relate to on the most part.
Take it slowly with her and once she is settles a little from what is going on things should become clearer. On her next visit spend as much time with her as possible, even boring stuff, and see what occurs.
Try not to appear to be encouraging her when you don't want to. Just explain again social situations are confusing for you and whilst you feel one thing you often don't say it because you are unsure it is always appropriate at the time.

b has a tail at the front like an elephants trunk and d has one like a dogs taillike i said it hasnt worked for him but they say it has worked for other kids.
Has me confused!
I used to says to my son who muddle them up b's bump the other letters and all the other letters bump d.
Or b's big fat belly gets in the way and d's big fat bum stick out too far.
Anything that makes then giggle makes the rules stick....I had other silly saying too, but can't remember them mostly on the letter being soldiers standing to attention and must face the right and and not upside down and the correct distance apart. My son was the Sargent Major and would shout at the letters to behave!
-
Kazzen that is precisely why my son is not going to high school...he won't cope, simple as that
-
Hi NNEB said they couldn't go into the classroomsWhen I was considering my son going to High School the learning support team were going to set up a small class for so he could see what was expected of him.
As for photos, that was the LEA idea and at no stage was he told not to get other pupils in the photos.......PC gone mad!
-
Contact the High School and get an appointment to see their learning support team. They will get you to bring your son a long for several visits before transition. If he has a camera get him to take that along on his visits and take snaps as he walks round.
As far as I am aware usually it's just he 2 visits, which won't be enough for your son.
